Good morning!  I hope you slept well and feel rested?  Currently sitting at my desk, in my study, attired only in my blue towelling robe, enjoying my first cuppa of the day.  Welcome to the weekend! 

Wow!  Here we are again: Friday!  Where did that week go?  No, seriously, where did that week go?

And a special good morning to those that live alone!  You are definitely not alone!  I assume you know you have a variety of families?  Your social media family, your Mi-Soul family, your clubbing and raving family and, of course, you have me!  Yes, you are related to me as well and, as you know, I am normally online!

I posted my annual ‘Deaths Of 2024’ list on Wednesday night.  Doubtless, it will need updating before the end of the year.  As usual, it’s a sobering list full of people that have truly led a life. 

Water bills to rise by a massive 36% over the next five years.  They say they will use the money to fix the water system, but they won't, they will transfer it to their tax havens.  The water company bosses have received over £25m in bonuses and incentives since 2019.  It’s yet another gigantic corporate scam at the public’s expense.

Thursday was another momentous day of writing, as I have broken through the 75k barrier.  The day involved many cups of coffee, many trips to the toilet, a lot of pacing around, a quick lunch, a brief nap and the occasional trip down a TikTok black hole.  As any writer will tell you, writing is not just about writing.  It’s about keeping it moving, staying sharp, upbeat and inspired, and doing whatever is necessary to keep yourself stimulated!  (Stop it!)

Hope you can join me tomorrow at 1.00 p.m. for ‘The A-Z Of Mi-Soul Music’.  The FINAL part of The Letter B (Part Ten).  No executive producer, just me playing with myself.  Next week, we’ve got a special theme week, then on to The Letter C in the new year.  Executive Producers for January: Debbie Mills (4), Kemi Poitier (11), Sue D’Silva (18), Cazza McKoy (25).

Have a fabulous and funky Friday!  I love you all.  You’re probably thinking, “You don’t even know me!” but, if people can hate for no reason, why can’t I love?

Good morning!  I hope you slept well and feel rested?  Currently sitting at my desk, in my study, attired only in my blue towelling robe, enjoying my first cuppa of the day.

There’s a possibility that TikTok will be banned in America next year.  For that, I feel very sorry for Americans.  On my TikTok feed, I get to listen to brilliant men like Neil deGrasse Tyson, Brian Cox and Richard Dawkins.  Sadly, America likes to control information and education, which is why the president-elect wants to remove ‘black studies’ from every curriculum.  He definitely doesn’t want American students to know that civilisation began in Africa, he’d rather teach them that Columbus ‘discovered��� America.

Another of the interesting people I listen to on TikTok is Jonny Thomson, who explains philosophical theories so that simpletons like me can understand them.  Yesterday, he talked about The Parable Of The Sower.  In short, you can spread seed on whatever kind of ground you like, but things will only grow on fertile land.  The meaning being: people will only listen and understand and appreciate information and knowledge when they are ready to receive it, and not before.  If people aren’t ready to listen and understand, there’s no point trying to make your point.

What a brilliant end to my year!  Friday, December 27: ‘Let The Music Play’ at Cinnabar in Stevenage.  Saturday, December 28: ‘Xmas Reunited’ at Cottons, Hoxton Square.  Tuesday, December 31: New Year’s Eve Party at The White Lion, Streatham.  Really looking forward to catching up with tons of beautiful people!  Exciting bookings in 2025 too!     

I am not Superman, neither are you.  You are not Superwoman.  You do not have to go out.  You do not have to be the life and soul of any party.  We’ve worked hard this year and, as it happens, it’s been a difficult year.  If you want to do NOTHING but stare at the TV, it’s totally understandable and totally acceptable.  Recharging your batteries is an important part of life. 

Have a throbbing and thrusting Thursday (with hopefully a few thrills through your thoroughfare?)  I love you all.

What do you call a row of cucumbers?  Queuecumbers.

Good morning!  I hope you slept well and feel rested?  Currently sitting at my desk, in my study, attired only in my blue towelling robe, enjoying my first cuppa of the day.  Happy Hump Day! 

“Another day, another dollar.”  Most mornings, I wake up and say that out loud.  The Trouble knows my routines.  Yesterday, I only had to say, “Another day,” and she quickly said, “another dollar.”  To win at the game of life, you need to escape the grind.  Are you winning?  At what point will your life become your own?  40?  50?  Retirement age?  When your life becomes your own, wake up when you want, work at what you want, at that point, you are living your own life, you are winning.  Until that happens, you are just part of the grind, working on someone else’s dreams.  Another day, another dollar. 

Don’t you love how they call it an ‘energy price cap’.  They think we’re stupid.  If you put a cap on something, you would be ending it or restricting it or keeping it stationary.  The ‘energy price cap’ gives the illusion that someone cares about your monthly bills … but they don’t!  Greedy shareholders need more and more money, so your energy (and your water bills) will be going up next year.

I so love to see my Facebook friends talking to one another, encouraging one another, complimenting one other.  You guys have so much in common.  Me, obviously.  Music, of course.  And, thirdly, this status.  Most people don’t have the patience to read, whereas you do.  You like to read.  You have a sense of curiosity.  “What is that bald bastard going to be ranting about this morning?”  You also enjoy conversation.  That’s another thing you all have in common.  We love to have a decent conversation, don’t we?  These names you see on my page: add them!  Fear not, there’s no real weirdos on my profile (other than me!)      

Do you know what?  I’ve got people offering me work and I’m not sure I want to take it.  I have enough commitment and obligation.  Those free hours every week, those hours are mine!  I need them for me and my aspirations.  I still have hopes and dreams.

Have a wonderful and well-endowed Wednesday.  I love you all.  Yes, a crazy, bald man loves and cares about you.
